Organic acai powder (or acai berry powder) is made from freeze-dried acai berries: super-fruits with tremendous health benefits. Acai berries have more antioxidants than almost any other fruit and contain high levels of essential fatty acids, amino acids, and dietary fiber. The rich nutritional value of acai berries is retained in our high-quality organic acai powder.

3 Surprising Health Benefits of Acai Powder

Acai powder is a rich source of protective antioxidants, omega fatty acids, amino acids, and dietary fiber. The acai berries’ nutrient content is mostly preserved in the freeze drying process.

1) Antioxidant Powerhouse: Full of antioxidants, acai berries have tested very well at defending the body by combating free radicals associated with disease and aging. Consumption of acai pulp and acai juice actually increases antioxidant concentration in the blood, which shows that the nutrients are effectively absorbed by the human body; these findings are the results of a 2008 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

2) The Good Fats: Organic acai powder is a rich source of omega fatty acids (omega 3, 6, and 9) which are essential for human health. Omega-3 is the same essential fatty acid found in fatty fish, like salmon, which American diets often don’t have enough of. The combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids plays an important role in regulating metabolism and supporting heart health. These two essential fatty acids are required through diet since our bodies cannot produce them naturally. Acai powder contains omega-9 fatty acid in the form of oleic acid, which has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and lower LDL “bad” cholesterol levels.

3) Loaded with Nutrients: Acai berries are also an excellent source of amino acids, dietary fiber. By weight, freeze-dried acai berry powder consists of nearly 8% amino acids, which help make proteins and support our metabolism. The powder’s rich dietary fiber content supports digestive health and keeps us feeling full longer. Calcium supports the development and structure of our bones, while vitamin A protects the eye’s retina.

What is Acai?

The acai palm (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is native to the tropical Amazon regions of Brazil and Peru. Fresh acai berries look like a cross between blueberries and grapes and have historically been a large part of the diets of many poor and indigenous Brazilians. Since acai berries were first brought to the United States early last decade, their growing popularity has been a source of prosperity and sustainability to many regions of Brazil. As acai palms are difficult to grow outside of the Amazon and the berries are highly perishable, acai is normally found only in powder form. When considering where to buy acai powder, look for Certified Organic varieties and keep Nuts.com top of mind!

How to Take Acai Berry Powder

Take 2 ½ teaspoons of acai powder with food or drinks. Simply blend acai berry powder with your favorite fruits and milk for a refreshing smoothie or juice. Mix acai powder into a yogurt parfait or sprinkle it on top of your morning oatmeal. It’s also delicious with desserts like tart frozen yogurt and makes a wonderful addition to chia seed pudding.

Acai berries have a slightly tart, tropical taste. This unique flavor is retained in our organic acai powder.

I was not sure how well this would work as black food coloring at first, but it turned out great! Of course, it is going to be hard finding any individual fruit or vegetable that can produce a true black color when getting food coloring this way, but this acai powder still worked out great when I used a little to try to make black icing for eyes and a mouth on a cake! Also, thank you for making this certified gluten free! That is the main reason I shop on nuts.com. It takes so much stress out of shopping for me.

We mix it with water and drink it for the great health benefits. I’ve found if you let it sit an hour or so it’s not as grainy
